Are you struggling with day-to-day living? Feeling overwhelmed and finding it difficult to cope with life's challenges? Searching for calmness in the midst of uncertainty? If so, you and I can walk through the journey toward healing together. My name is Melanie and I am a therapist who empowers individuals who are working towards overcoming anxiety, depression, difficulties in their relationships, stress and self-esteem. Together, we will identify ways to get you back in balance by identifying the barriers that are preventing you from accomplishing your goals, which includes addressing any past unresolved issues. If you are someone who is ready to regain the strength and power that you already have within you but find yourself dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues, cycles of anxiety and depression or low self-esteem, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, you and I will review your initial intake and discuss how any of your past experiences have contributed to your presenting problem and what brought you to therapy at this time. We will also discuss any past experiences in therapy to determine how I can be effective in working with you by identifying what has and has not been helpful for you in the past. You and I will then work together to develop a treatment plan together by identifying the goals that are most important to you and your journey toward healing. My hope is that you will see your symptoms improve and will see sustained improvement thereafter.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I provide a warm, encouraging, empathetic atmosphere and use a collaborative approach to work with you. I use a variety of various interventions, such as EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and multiple other therapies and techniques to meet each client’s individual needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I use a strength-based approach and empower my clients to overcome their current challenges. If you are someone who finds themselves As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe space where you feel comfortable and help you get to a place where you can work towards healing and say goodbye to anger, sadness, fear and anxiety and say hello to peace, hope, love and joy.
